Swimmer1, in all seriousness, I think I'm missing something with your post...nobody on this thread said anything about you. No one called you a naysayer, and no one said you were not a proponent of a merger.
The FACT is that the MPSC has rejected a plan to make Charleston area soccer competitive with the rest of the state. I read Christi Arnold's letter, and it was all hot air. She gives absolutely NO reasoning for not joining the Bridge, other than that Mt. Pleasant Soccer Club is "the most well-rounded and successful club in the Lowcountry."
I can see it now - next year, when CESA takes home all the state championships again, the Mt. Pleasant administration will be saying "that's okay, we STILL have the most well-rounded and successful club in the Lowcountry."
"The devil is in the details." Let's check with Arnold again..."MPSC...not a part or supportive of this alliance in any way to include PHILOSOPHY..." That is an awfully HUGE detail.
Which part of winning state championships and becoming the most-successful club in the STATE does she not agree with?
Apparently, grenades won't do the trick - we need something much louder to make them WAKE UP!!!
